Slide Rock State Park, just north of Sedona, Arizona, features hiking trails and historic sites, but the main thing I was excited for was the natural water slides! Visitors can slide down smooth rocks in the creek, with beautiful red rock wall surrounding it. Since I’m on a road trip by myself, I was intimidated and worried about feeling awkward as a solo traveler. I’ll also discuss not having anyone to watch my things while I was in the water and being in such a crowded place.

If you go: entrance fee was $20 per car. Once the parking lot fills up (which may have been around 9 or 10 am when I visited, which was a Wednesday in June) people wait in their cars to be let in.

More info on the organization I was trying to buy beer to support
• Creekside Comfort by Dark Sky Brewing benefitted the Oak Creek Watershed Council, but it’s sold out now.
• Oak Creek is the creek running through Slide Rock! How perfect for this video would that have been!
• If you live in the area and would like to get involved, they are on instagram at @theoakcreekwatershedcouncil and on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/oakcreekwate...
or reachable by emailing [email protected]

Thanks to ‪@aleitheiser‬ for another great recommendation! Where do you think I should go next?

What is Beer in Beautiful Places?
Hi, I’m Maddie! Celebrating an outdoor adventure with a beer has been a longtime tradition for me, and I wanted to create a platform for likeminded folks to come together. In my videos, I cover all types of adventures and review beer! Topics include day hiking, kayaking, travel, thruhiking, and life on the road. In short, if you would describe yourself as an outdoorist, outdoorsman, outdoorswoman, hiker trash, nomad, or dirtbag, come on along, this is the channel for you! Welcome and cheers!
